Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure on macOS with SDK 10.0.101 using `dotnet workload install maui`, then compare the 10.0.0-rc.2 behavior with the last working 10.0.0-rc.1 version. Investigate the advertising manifest update and the listed workload package downloads; done means the MAUI workload installs without rollback or null-reference errors.
